Xchair

projects | 2024

Xchair is 3D Printing furniture crafted with recycled polymer materials taht pretend to connects the digital with the physical like a gateway at the heart of on's home or a living room portal. Its ergonomic design insightfully addresses the ever-increasing multiplicity of future domestic practices: working, eating and resting, in face of digital devices and XR tools. The chair's curvy lines coalesce in layers to form an L-shaped object, whose cantilevered core functions as a spring and ensures responsive, dynamic sitting. Its grainy texture echoes that of a sensial surface intimately enveloping a body like skin or shells, while its "elastic" nature allows for its shape to indergo constant evolution. At the interplay between the solid and the liquid, this design object activates notions of liquefaction, fluidity, and data immersion. Xchair offers us a glimpse into future lifestyles, both preserved and renewed.
